5-Nitroindole-2-carboxylic acid

Description:
5-Nitroindole-2-carboxylic acid is an organic compound characterized by its indole structure, which is a bicyclic compound consisting of a benzene ring fused to a pyrrole ring. The presence of a nitro group (-NO2) at the 5-position and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) at the 2-position contributes to its chemical reactivity and potential applications in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and organic synthesis. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit moderate solubility in polar solvents due to the carboxylic acid functionality. Its nitro group can participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, while the carboxylic acid can engage in acid-base reactions. The compound's unique structure allows it to serve as a building block for the synthesis of more complex molecules, and it may also exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as nitro compounds can be sensitive and potentially hazardous.
